"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Happy Birthday, Degas


Edgar Degas was born on this date in 1873.

Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things.  The most beautiful things in art come from renunciation.
